Wasserman Schultz: DeMint
"Clearly Sees That The Tea

Real Clear Politics, by Ian Schwartz

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 12/7/2012 9:55:24 AM

"I think Senator DeMint clearly sees that the Tea Party is not a growth industry," DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said on Current TV´s "Viewpoint" tonight. "I mean, he had an election that just passed that did not see the ranks of Tea Party members expand. The Senate candidates that he expected to be very likely to join him in the Senate were rejected in red states by the voters who simply know that extremism is not the way that we need to go forward in getting our economy turned around, in reducing our

And it appears that Boehner agrees with this miscreant.

Didn´t she mean conservative ´extremism´, since libeal extremism seems to be the democratic way of doing business?

Sorry folks she is exactly right. Maybe for the first time in her life, she stumbled on to the truth.
The speaker is firing all the conservatives from committee heads and will put the Republican party back to the go along permanent minority party it was for years. And that is what he should do, the tea party did not show up for the 2012 election, if you can’t produce move over, so he is probably right. You can’t fight the smart moves the liberals have done against the conservative. They put their party hacks in place in the media and education. They took there time built the party, while the republicans set around trying to improve the country the liberals just want to win, just for the power.

Run a candidate that supports the Tea Party and watch all of the support you get. Rember 2010...then the GOP elites decided to marginalize the Tea Party. Bye bye GOP.

She seems to think liberalism is a growth industry when it only garners about 20% of the population.

Conservatives identify about 41%, or double.

Which begs the question, why can´t republicans simply push fiscal responsibilty as the main focus of the party?

How the liberal agenda is hurting the poor, how the war on coal is increasing costs for the poor, how not using our natural resources to have low energy costs hurts tax revenues that pay for teachers, police and firefighters.

Stop the social issues and focus on growing the economy, and how those input costs affect jobs, tax revenues and how growing gov´t only means more taxes needed to pay for it - and borrowing can´t be the answer for the shortfall.

These types of ideas will naturally result in more socially conservative people gravitating towards it, but it can´t be the focus.

She´s a coward, who avoids the truth that the Tea Party stands for smaller government, fewer taxes, and more freedom. What is extremist about those ideas? I´m betting that small government resonates much better with the "middle class" than Big Government and the Demonrat party tax and spend Leftist policies.


Reply 16 - Posted by: Susannah, 12/7/2012 5:06:39 PM     (No. 9054238)

She´s right in one sense, although not the one she intended. There is no Tea Party. There are three larger groups, Tea Party Patriots, Tea Party Express, and Tea Party Nation, all of whom are squabbling amongst themselves as to which is the authentic Tea Party. Tea Party Patriots hate Tea Party Nation. Tea Party Express says it´s the only real thing. Then there are smaller splinter groups, disaffiliated from the larger ones and at odds with each other, all with different sets of priorities. The pro-life Tea Party hates the smaller government Tea Party.

This isn´t a movement; it´s become a joke.


Reply 17 - Posted by: doctorfixit, 12/8/2012 11:41:39 AM     (No. 9055300)

If they´re talking about social issues, they´re not Tea Party as far as I am concerned, they´re Republicans. The libertarian Tea Partiers should drop the name and try something else if they get co-opted by the Big Government/Military Interventionist/Moral Majority wing. The whole premise of the Tea Party was fiscal responsibility - period. From the beginning I have warned Tea Party people not to associate with the GOP. They´re poison.

In a speech that addressed youth violence in Chicago, First Lady Michelle Obama compared herself to Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old girl murdered soon after attending President Obama´s Second Inauguration. "Hadiya Pendleton was me, and I was her," said the first lady. "Thousands of children in this city live in neighborhoods where a funeral for a teenager is considered unfortunate, but not unusual; where wandering onto the wrong block or even just standing on your own front porch can mean putting yourself at risk," Michelle Obama told the Chicago crowd, according to a transcript provided by the White House.

President Barack Obama talked again in the Rose Garden Wednesday about making work pay off, even as his $3.77 trillion budget proposal calls for capping the amount of tax deferred retirement savings for high earners. “To make sure hard work is rewarded, we’ll build new ladders of opportunity for the middle class for anybody who is willing to work hard to climb it,” Obama said, speaking of another aspect of the tax and spending plan. “So we’ll partner with 20 of our communities hit hardest by recession to help them improve housing

Left-wing magazine Mother Jones made news this week with a report based on a secret recording of a Feb. 2 meeting of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell with campaign strategists. Federal and state law prohibits publication of information acquired through secret recording, but a 2001 Supreme Court ruling gives publishers like Mother Jones a get-out-of-jail-free card. But whoever taped the private conversation can’t wiggle off the hook so easily. Whoever bugged the meeting room or secretly placed a recording device will be in serious legal trouble — unless he or she was one of the strategists.

A Michigan high school canceled a speech by former Sen. Rick Santorum after teachers became outraged over his opposition to gay marriage and threatened to stage protests and a possible work stoppage. Santorum had been invited to deliver a upcoming speech on leadership by the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at Gross Pointe South High School. But the speech was canceled on Monday after the school district’s superintendent heard from angry teachers. “It’s a sad day when liberal educators are allowed to influence young minds – extending free speech rights only to those who share their liberal views,” Santorum said

State Attorney General Bob Ferguson on Tuesday filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Arlene’s Flowers & Gifts, a Richland florist that refused to supply flowers to the same-sex marriage of a longtime customer. Ferguson said he sent a March 28 letter to owner Barronelle Stutzman asking her to reconsider and supply flowers to customer Robert Ingersoll. Through an attorney, Stutzman declined to change her position.“As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington,” said Ferguson. “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate

When Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) asked the FBI to investigate how a recording of a private meeting at his campaign headquarters in Kentucky was secretly made and then released to Mother Jones, the reaction from Washington DC political reporters was curious , to say the least. At a press conference on the matter Tuesday, reporters pressed him on what was said about his presumed opponent in next year´s senate race, actress Ashley Judd. McConnell pointed out that liberal groups in Kentucky had earlier maligned his wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, and attacked her

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

President Obama´s push to pass stricter gun control laws will cost Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday. "I think the president has shown he is willing to demagogue an issue and that it is ultimately going to backfire," Cruz said in an interview on Laura Ingraham´s radio show. Cruz´s comments come as Congress debates passing a set of gun control measures meant to reduce gun violence and prevent shooting massacres similar to the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Lisa Jackson, the former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, told an audience at Princeton University politics are to blame for the uproar over her “Richard Windsor” alias email account, but she wishes she had chosen a less-obscure name for the account. Jacob Reces, former head of Princeton’s College Republicans, asked Jackson during a talk on Tuesday if she regretted using the alternate email account, according to the New Jersey Star-Ledger. Using two email accounts for work isn’t a new practice, and was also done under President Bush, Jackson said.

FBI Conducting 32 Gun Purchase
Background Checks Per Minute

During Barack Obama´s presidency there have been 32 background checks for gun purchases every minute. Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama´s presidency, there have been 70,291,049 background checks for gun purchases, according to data released by the FBI. Using February 1, 2009 as our starting date, and March 31, 2013 as our end date, (the latest data from the FBI) Obama has been president for 1,520 days. That equates to 36,480 hours, or 2,188,800 minutes. Divide the 70,291,049 background checks by 2,188,800 minutes and you get approximately 32 checks for gun purchases every minute!

As he rolls out his fiscal 2014 budget on Wednesday, a new survey finds that Americans haven’t felt this confident about President Obama’s handling of the economy since his first year in office. The Gallup poll, which sampled more than 1,000 Americans, found that 57 percent say they have a “great deal or a fair amount of confidence” in Mr. Obama to do the right thing on the economy. That’s up from just 50 percent last year and hasn’t been this high since it hit 71 percent in 2008. Trust in congressional Republicans, on the other hand, remains low.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

"There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
